[twostrokeornill1]

I saw him play this in a small hall in 08' wherethe majority of the occupants were nearly brought to tears.

[fsendel]

Beautiful. So simple but intense.

[Taran396]

Maggie i wish u didnt get shot up on the block! O maggie! Come to me tonight!

[Nienna1610]

Beautiful song. At 0:38, though, it's 'To your side I'd run'.

[snapplechick716]

My bf heard this on pandora and played it for me :) so glad there are other songs with Maggie instead of Maggie May, Its a good song but im sick of always getting those stupid maggie may references when i meet people >.< Check out the new red hot chili peppers song the adventures of rain dance maggie!

[gno231]

This is an amazing song! I have been writing music for a few years now and I am amazed at people like Colin that can come up with stuff like this. Gives me chills....

[maggiemook26]

tear tear sniffle tear tear sniffle

[MrTroy2052]

This is one of those song that make you want to learn how to play guitar and start singing.

[givingitashot1]

@MrTroy2052 so worth it too man, i can give this a right go and only picked up guitar a few year ago, sure ye sound like pure shite at the start, then dedicated enough to step up to a half decent guitar and a bit of blood sweat and tears you can make it! Of all the highs in life as a music lover to be able to roll this out is a gift!! Tellin ye man giveitashot!

[mateo200828]

This is so fucking sad, but I can't stop listening to it!!

[tranedecoy]

7 month of therapie but I still can't cry but know I hear this song and finally I can :')

[alisikik]

ahh man, this song breaks my heart!

[theevilvampmetalhead]

I love this song so much, it is so sad my name's Maggie-Mae but I love this song better than Maggie-May even if this is about the Maggie girl in the song committing suicide

[maladroitmortal]

possibly my favorite colin hay song

[shwooppie]

amazing song



[maggiesawesome]

This is my song . . . . . My name is Maggie. :)

[MultiEpique]

@maggiesawesome because you committed suicide?

[arni0202]

one of my favorite and one of the most tragic songs I've ever heard. I thought it was cancer based on the "you looked very thin" party like she was going through chemo. I could be wrong I don't remember the context. AMAZING song either way. Glad I watched Garden State and got turned on to Colin Hay's music.

[WishHere1]

Thousands of times better than Maggie Mae. Thimbs up!

[HERMIONExCANTxDRAW]

@chameleonfrog1 She committed suicide, and the song "I just don't think I can ever get over you" is about her too.

[WishHere1]

Thumbs up if the lyrics closing in and moving out make you question how much you drank.

[16megs88]

My dads name is colin hay and my name is megan....creepy..

[DyingCorey]

I will torture those 3 morons.

[kenzieandmaggie1]

My name is Maggie

[HristenaP]

I loved a man.. He loved me too.. He never came, pity.. Too late..

[magix019]

i dont get why people say now i can switch from Rod Steward to Colin Hay. Did he make a song named maggie?

[squashbucket70]

@magix019 maggie may buddy! give it a listen and youll see why people love it. but i dont understand why theyd switch their name song to this one since its obvious this song is about the deah of said maggie

[hathawaykm]

If my name was Maggie I def. wouldn't comment on this song

[hathawaykm]

If my name was Maggie I def. wouldn't comment on this son

[CartmanFirst]

Colin forever:-)

[Vetter87]

I just got the chills... what a powerfull song <3

[theoldwillow65]

WOW!!!! Just discovered this song tonight...Colin Hay on an acoustic guitar, is rather mind blowing. The energy is surreal, words are perfect...I can't help but see a music video through his vivid description. BEAUTIFUL

[sugarlandbaby929]

My name is Maggie...now I can switch from Rod Steward to Colin Hay.. YAY!!!

[DanGeneralFloors]

MY NAME IS MAGGIE

[mageraina26]

It's funny because my name's Maggie and I've always wanted a song besides Maggie May and no I find one :) And I love it. Couldn't have asked for a better song.

Now I just have to figure out how to play it on guitar. <3

[maggiemook26]

my name really is maggie

[kurokawaone]

!!!great!!!

[chameleonfrog1]

this song intrigued me from the start but I agree with the comment below. I think it is a sad song...I couldn't hold back the tears...it is not quite clear to me if she left him for another man or worse still... she committed suicide?

[jamiephelan]

@chameleonfrog1 From the lyrics, she left him for another man, then it turns out she isn't happy at all, feels trapped and kills herself - but she always loved him (the character the song is being sung by)

[jamiephelan]

@chameleonfrog1 Also, "I am forever yours, now that I am free" - she loved him so much she killed herself to be free from her other partner

[meshalzakareya]

lovely

[Ogamer93]

großartiger song :) ?!

[sMaggiePs]

[MrOhitsujiza]

@DrShippi HELL YEA.... wait what?

[HardCandyification]

Oha... furchtbar traurig, aber wunderschön. :,-(

Einfach, ohne viel Trara. Ist auch nicht nötig, bei dem Text.

Sehr schön.

[marcinhaUK]

Buaaaaa....such a sad song...... so beautiful!

[OnkelBumms]

beautiful!

[raceygofast]

I was actually looking for another song when I came across this one. Isn't it something how a song can touch a nerve you had forgotten. Bittersweet tears rolling down cheeks for those who lost hope and left us.

[GoodbyeSanity]

@raceygofast , that is beautiful! I felt the same way when I came across this song. And like you, I stumbled upon this song looking for another one. . . It's a beautiful song. My boyfriends name is Collin, as a matter of fact. . . this is JUST like us.

[nakedrobz]

this song is about suicide.how can that be just like you and your boyfriend?

[HeeroYuyDekkers]

Why did Colin Hay write this song. Is there a meaning behind it, or did he just want to make us all weep?

[mocrosoft991]

FFS! how can someone write such a moving song! it's beautiful!

[deathover1]

such a sad fucking song

[fairygirlll]

My absolute fave Colin Hay song!

[jeggiextwins]

haha my name is Maggie yeah someone loves me

[WilsonRams13]

ME TOO MY NAME IS MAGGIE TOO

[jeggiextwins]

[AberavonAbstractics]

i dont even know who maggie is,but i"m crying for her too :((..poor dab..

[MrSausag3]

OMG ITS MY NAME!!

MAGGIE

[knoxy92live]

If u think this song is emotional, try listening to his other song - I just dont think i'll ever get over you. That song and this one are the only songs that have ever made me cry. (I hope no1 i know reads this lol). The reason they're so bad is because u think of the person u love doing this, that thought is unbearable.

[LaPapilio]

I've cried too.. and im crieing again... ever and ever...

[magg1896]

I am going to cry soon

[magg1896]

I have the same name as the song

[cutie333]

1st time i heard this song i cried its a beautiful song

[ichmussfurzen88]

WOW!

[frribbib]

gr8 upload well done

[jaredletolover4ever1]

:D i love this beautiful song

[eleniel9tol]

This is the most beautiful song to share my name I have ever heard!!

[TheBannerBoy]

Seen him recently, before the song he spoke of a little girl (when they were eight) back in Scotland that used to knock him down and hold him to the ground. He said he loved that girl. Then he went into the song... Magic

[phycobassist07]

i was asked to learn this song....wonder what that means lol..great tune

[Mallegay]

I always cry my eyes out when I hear this!

[OsnapXXcraCKelpOp]

i saw him friday and met him. he is so funny. if u havent seen him but want too u have to its a life experience

[frribbib]

i agree i havnt been yet but hes comin to the u.k in novemeber hes booking gent said so hopefully then

[loverdover4748]

[emmacarson68]

oh my giddy aunt. i have never heard such emotion potrayed by an artist, it just goes so deep, i simply cant process it- tears have overwhelmed me!!!! first she beat him?! domestic abuse! theres no excuse!

[irishgalAMY]

[sebastianlindstrom]

this is the best song i the hole fucking world. oh my god. this is perfekt sadness. tears in my eyes

[Metdg]

och det var jag som skickade den till dig ;) du kommer bli minst lika duktig.

<3

[dewijzedraak]

just perfect, this song..

[haindawg60]

Thanks for posting the lyrics and studio version of the song. It's such a sad song but it's beautifully written.

[saxmologist]

This song reduced me to tears when I heard it and it still does sometimes. I think we can all take pieces of this song that remind us of our own lives, of love, or loss or how someone can help us to do things we wouldn't have dared to one our own ("taught me how to sink or swim").

[Reasonably]

Simply awesome... The impressing thing about colin hay is imo that his songs became better with the time

[belladonnalexa]

I saw this song being performed by a friend of mine and I have just fallen in love with it.

[Emmia83]

so sad... and beautiful.. thanx for the lyrics to this song! Love it..

[thepsycho69]

Good song love it

[xXglaserXx]

i looked all over youtube for the non live version. thanks so much for this video
